1) If you claim to be a #Liberal today, your world must be incredibly strange. There are two types of Liberal, the #elite overlords, and the useful idiots. You can decide for yourself where you fit. But there is no doubt that you EMPOWER the CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT. Lets sum it up:

2) You believe that killing a baby is your "right", but killing newborn puppies or bird eggs should land you in jail.

3) You believed, without evidence, that #Trump was a puppet of #Russia. When he imposed brutal sanctions, you ignored it to preserve your world view.

If you live in CALIFORNIA, you can STILL #GetCovered at CoveredCA.com by FRIDAY for Jan coverage...and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS who didn't qualify for tax credits before are now eligible for up to THOUSANDS in savings!

Remember, CA reinstated the mandate penalty as well.

If you live in the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, you can STILL #GetCovered at DCHealthLink.com by January 15th for coverage starting in February. Remember, DC reinstated the mandate penalty.

@rabihmgeha shared a fantastic approach to positive BCx! I use a similar schema, but add ‘Questions to ask the lab/what to do next?’ since #ID usually doesn’t get the ‘critical result’ call from micro, and I want to empower those who do with actionable knowledge.

I arrange the potential Gram stain results that one can be called w/ as follows: Gram(+) cocci, Gram(+) rods, Gram(–) rods, Gram(–) cocci, yeast. Gram(+) cocci are grouped by ‘morphology’ since the lab usually tells you this: clusters, pairs, chains, etc. Fill in with orgs.

3/

Like @rabihmgeha's schema, the orgs are deliberately ordered this way: Gram(+) orgs are often [skin] contaminants, Gram(–) orgs & yeast are not. Remember that clinician adjudication is the ‘gold standard’ for deciding what is a contaminant!

Me: "Hey there. Just came back to check on you."
Him: "Lawd. Did you come back to bug me about that pill some more?"
Me: "You mean the PrEP? Nah. Well. I mean, I do want you to take it. But I legit came to check on you."
Him: "Mmmm hmmmm."

*laughter*

2/ Him: "You a dog on a bone, you know that?"
Me: "Me?"
Him: "Yeah, YOU. But for real. . .I'm pretty low key. I don't need that pill. I ain't out like that, feel me?"

*silence*

Him: "What?"
Me: *shrugs*
Him: "Why you so pressed for me to take this pill?"

3/ Me: "Because. I care about you."

*silence*

Me: "So--tell me again why you aren't feeling it?"
Him: "I don't want nobody experimenting on me. Or using me to get paid."
Me: " Tell me what you mean by that."
Him: "Look. I ain't even out like that. So I'm good." *turns up TV*
